NAME
       akfgopher-dl - downloader for Gopher

SYNOPSIS
       akfgopher-dl <URL>
       gophermenu

DESCRIPTION
       The program akfgopher-dl is a simle downloader for Gopher.

       It can for example be used as a backend from other programs to download
       information or other material from the Internet.

       The type information in the URL is ignored by this program.

       To  make  the output of directories more legible for humans you can use
       the command gophermenu as a filter.  This should only be used with type
       1 and 7.

       If you are looking for an interactive Gopher program, see akfgb(1).

EXAMPLES
       akfgopher-dl gopher://gopher.example.net/0/info | less
       akfgopher-dl gopher://gopher.example.net/1/ | gophermenu | less
       akfgopher-dl gopher://gopher.example.net/7/v2/vs%09searchterm | gophermenu
       | less

ENVIRONMENT
       GOPHER_PROXY
       gopher_proxy
       ALL_PROXY
       all_proxy
              Use a proxy.

              The information is given in form of a URL,
              SOCKS 4, 4a and 5 is supported.

              For example:
              socks5://127.0.0.1:1080/,
              socks5://Name:Password@127.0.0.1:1080/.

              Credentials are transmitted unencrypted.  SOCKS 4 and 4a do  not
              support credentials at all, but there the user ID (LOGNAME) will
              be transfered.

DETAILS
       With OpenSSH you can redirect the traffic through another system.  This
       works by allocating a socket to listen to port on localhost.

       ssh -D localhost:1080 server.example.net
       # (other terminal)
       GOPHER_PROXY=socks5://localhost:1080
       export GOPHER_PROXY
